Great images Frank. You reminded me of everything I forgot to photograph. Did you get any photos of Lena’s and Nick’s coffee and tea paraphernalia? It was quite impressive. We scored some major tea from Nick. If you are into tea or green coffee beans, he is the guy. I would have loved to...

Frank, in case you were wondering what an auto stage is: RCW 46.04.050 Auto stage. "Auto stage" means any motor vehicle used for the purpose of carrying passengers together with incidental baggage and freight or either, on a regular schedule of time and rates: PROVIDED, That no motor...

Oh happy day, camping with Bear. We look forward to visiting with you again. We did not get much of a chance at the CICO.

Washington State law is certainly confusing about this. The current law on trucks is: (WSDOT). State law also mandates a maximum speed limit of 70 mph, with the exception of vehicles over 10,000 pounds gross weight (large trucks) and vehicles in combination (trucks with trailers, for...

Final comments about the 4th Annual NWRU-- > The current weather report seems to indicate that there will be some rain on Sunday night; also a small chance throughout the weekend. Temperatures will be from the mid 40’s to high 60’s. There was no word on bugs or the lack of bugs. I assume...

Like the sunroof, you betcha! Mostly used for getting up in the morning, we both like to have natural light wake us up. Regrets, none. Recommend it to others, not really. It is a part of the trailer that has a high risk for failure; to mitigate the risk will require a lot of attention...

I have been trying to find replaced LEDs for both the running lights and the xenon bulbs and have purchased a few candidates; however, I have not yet install them so I can’t tell you how good they will work. Keep in mind that incandescent bulb radiant light in all directions while LEDs are...

It is coming, the most important camping event of the year, the fourth annual Northwest Roundup! The fine print: Dates: Memorial Day weekend, Friday May 23 through Monday May 26th. Official check-in is 2:00 PM; however, if you arrive early on Friday you are likely to be able to get...

I just noticed that the Dometic was redesigned, let us know if you get the new version and if it still fits the Campinn galley. The handles look different.

Mikie Likes, The NWRU is from the May 23 through Memorial Day, the 26th at the Mossyrock Campground’s Primitive Group Camp. Just show up and find a place to setup, no need to signup. There is nothing organized about this event. Just bring some food to share. We do ask for help paying for...

Sorry Bear, I put this on the calendar a long time ago; however, it got booked as private which means you have to be logged in to see it. I have fixed the calendar. Detailed details (yes I know) are forthcoming. I hope you make it to the Roundup this year.

We have had a pair of Rubber Maid 3 gallon water jerry cans long before we had the trailer. They are easy to store and they come with a long spigot that allows you to fill the trailer's water tank just as they do at a pit stop during a Grand Prix. They do not sell anything exactly like the pair...

The Northwest Round Up is a month away and the excitement is already building. Who is going to win the award for the best-accessorized teardrop, what mad science project is Uncle Frank going to dream up and will there be Jell-O shooters again this year? To find out, you will have to show up...

Get yourself a plug like this: angled plug. We will us 110 if we plug in at the camp ground or sometimes not, I am not sure it really matters unless you draining the battery faster than you charge it.

Oops, never mind. What was I thinking; of course sunroofs are a bad idea, I tell you they are the work of the devil. Only fit for use by lazy lounge campers. They ruin resale value and it is well known that bears have learned how to open them and retrieve tasty snacks. I plan on selling...

I was very skeptical about a sunroof but as I told my wife, I can always just cut a hole in the roof later if we want one. At that point, she told me to just go ahead and order it with the trailer so I will not wreck the trailer later. Now that I have it, no one is gong to take it away from...

I would not worry too much about bears unless you are hiking. It is debatable if Washington State ever had a Grizzly bear population during historical times. If they exist, they would be up in the north part of the state, but more likely further east. Black bears are thick, but I have only...

The reason why AAA may be hedging on the pass: Pass report It should be good by June. When driving through the pass, you might want to check Colonial Creek campground. No reservations, but the setting cannot be beat. Newhalem is hemmed in by a canyon and has lot trees. It is very...

Frank, I don't seem to recognize the exact area you are camping at, what site where you are? I am Glad they lowered the river to protect the dam, it must be pretty interesting.

Speaking of Rick, where has he been hiding. I miss his clever banter.
